Controlling your television set with your mind: now a reality

The BBC, in collaboration with tech company This Place, has developed a way people can select programmes using a cheap, brainwave-reading headset. The headset works with an experimental version of the BBC's iPlayer on-demand platform. Users can turn on and operate the app by concentrating or relaxing their minds.According to Cyrus Saihan, head of business development for the BBC's Digital Division, it is an internal prototype designed to give our programme makers, technologists and other users an idea of how this technology might be used in future.Want to know more about this awesome device?
